Brooder Box for Chick Starter Kit - Brooder Pen/Baby Chicken Supplies Brooder Box with Ideal Size Brooding Up to 15 Baby Chick, Duck and Quail

What's first reported? My package was lost, but good news. It was found and delivered in perfect shape, love the product. My chicks love it too. Thank you Amazon. The brooder is the perfect size for my growing chicken family. Holds water and food container and 2 chick size cripple peaches and the heater with plenty of running room. It has 3 windows with blackout flaps that have 2 ties to open up for light. Third windoew zips open for convenient access. Also top zips open. Inner pad was easy to put in and secure. I would buy again for expanding my flock.

Absolutely love this!!! I was keeping the chicks warm with a heating lamp and worried constantly if it was too hot , if it would start a fire, I could not adjust the heat with a heating lamp. I ordered this and it’s perfect, lots of room for the chicks to run around, then at end of day they get under the warming plate and go to sleep. No more worrying for me. I wish I had got it from day one !

LOVE this pen. Right now I have 3 baby quail in it, but will use it for baby chicks, also. It can be folded and taken outside to clean. Dries quickly in the sun. The zipper top lets me take care of them without any escaping. The sides tie up for more light during the day and I have an electric heat plate that gives heat from the top when they're under it. It also is adjustable as they grow, which has been a safe alternative to the bright, hot heat lamp. The pen will hold quite a few chicks, although I never have more than 6, with alot of room to spare. Great value for a pen. There are stakes if you want to have it outside, but I normally keep my chicks in closed in shed or garage.

I would give it 4.5 stars if that was an option only because I don't fully like the warming plate and I was given two tops to feeding trays and no bottom lol. Other than that, the items are good, easy to setup and use. Pretty straight forward, pops right up and open to setup. Lots of different variations to have windows/screens open/closed. The mat is removable for easy cleanup. The size is okay for like 10 standard chicks for the beginning stages, I don't think any further than that as it's not THAT big. Definitely can't have any animal that can pounce on the top of it, as it will fold down and crush the chicks, as there's no hard shell skeleton at all, which is stated, just putting it out there for everyone looking at different reviews. As my cat jumped on top and luckily the warming plate stopped him from getting the chicks.As for the warming plate, it doesn't warm up to the degree as I feel it should. I feel like a lightbulb on for a few hours gets hotter than the plate. It does shut off and then back on which is obviously probably a safety feature but good to know as well.I don't regret purchasing this item, I just wanted everyone else to be aware of the few subtle things I didn't think of when purchasing.

This brooder with the heating plate is a complete flop. The plate did not get up to the temperature that the Hicks needed an 8 died; dropping like flies. I called the hatchery and they told me that heating plates should never be used. I am very dissatisfied with this purchase. I wouldn't even give it a one.

This broader ia awesome! My baby chicks love it! Easy to set up! Glad I got this!

Edit: EXCELLENT customer service from this seller! They reached out to me today and offered to make the issue with the hole in the top of the brooder right.My chicks are still loving all the extra room they have and the zippered top and on the side allow for easy access for cleaning, feeding & watering and of course treats and playing with the baby chicks 🐥The brooder came with a hole in it where the zipper wasn’t sewn on to the enclosure, but I needed the brooder ASAP for my chicks and decided to just keep it and use it. They seem to like it and have plenty of room.

Great starter tent for brooding baby chicks. Super easy to set up and maintain. Plenty of room for our 7 babies that are now 5 weeks old.My only issue is I wish the vented sides zippered closed. I wound up using gorilla tape to seal them as the shavings bedding was being kicked through the screening while the girls are scratching. Taping the sides has helped a lot.
